Halsey stood frozen in place as the car came barreling toward her

At the last possible moment a strongarm shot out wrapping around her slender waist and yanking her into a warm solid embrace
The car whizzed past just missing her by inches
Still shaken Halsey looked up at the man holding her
Itwashim.
The masked man she had been searching for finally stepped into her sight He had appeared
Halsey whispered It s you
The man released her gently and said with a low calm voice You were looking forme
She nodded Yes I was looking for you
Next time watch where you re going he replied coolly Without another word he turned and started to walk
away.
Halsey hurried to follow Who are you We ve met before haven t we
I don t know you he said plainly
She didn t believe him for a second You don t know me Then why did you save me Twice today you saved me from those men in black and then again just now on the street
Hisvoicewasemotionless.”Itwasnothing.Justdoingthe rightthingwhenIsawtrouble.”
“Idon’tbuyit!We knoweachother.You’resomeoneIknow.”
Are you talking about someone you love he asked quietly
Thepersonsheloved?
The question stopped Halsey cold for a moment Her voice trembled slightly as she said He s someone I used to love
The man was silent for a few seconds before responding I see
He sounded almost disappointed
Halseykeptpacebesidehim.”Whydoyoualways wearthatmask?Areyoutryingtohideyourfacefromme?”
He shrugged I m not hiding from you on purpose I m ugly I m just afraid it ll scare people
What?
He was so ugly that he might scare people
Noway!
Dwight had been the school heartthrob many wealthy girls had thrown themselves at him desperate to date him He was incredibly handsome
Halsey didn t believe a word

“Fine.I’llshowyou.”

Halsey s eyes lit up She took two steps closer then slowly reached out to pull the black mask from his face
She was certain he was Dwight She trusted her sixth sense
The mask came off revealing a face covered in scars Not the sharp handsome features of Dwight this face was ruined ugly and frightening
